The Quiet Ward

In the United Kingdom of Avalon, a series of peaceful deaths at St. Aldwyn's Nursing Home masks a chilling conspiracy. When an eccentric detective notices a pattern too subtle for modern forensics, she uncovers that pharmaceutical giant NovaCure is conducting lethal experiments on the elderly to bury a drug's catastrophic side effects. The crime is perfect not because it is clever, but because the justice system's thinking remains trapped in a bygone era. Loosely inspired by the legal case Morris v. Ross et al, this Fred Vargas-style mystery blends medical suspense with biting social critique.
